Over the last few days, we have been looking at repetitive line books during Writer's Workshop. The students have been identifying how author's use this structure in their writing. We have read a variety of picture books as models of this writing.
During Reader's Workshop, we have been working on the idea of what good readers do when they are reading. We have been working on the concept of thinking about your reading in the sense does it make sense and do I understand what am I reading?
Yesterday, we had library in our classroom because of students taking the NECAP test in the library area. Today, we will start a year long photography project. Mr. Mongeon and I will be teaching the kids how to use a digital camera. The final project will be a part of an exhibit at the end of the year.
NOTES:
*The 1st Grade math Survey will be sent home today. It is due on Tuesday. New math homework will be sent home on Tuesday.
*The moon journals do not have to be filled in nightly. I ask that you observe on or around the key dates that I outlined in Wednesday's blog post. If your child wishes to do more, then feel free to have at it!
*Remember there is no school on Monday.
Here is this weeks video:
